What Uncle Sam Is
Doing for Farmers'
TO CUT DOWN MILK LOSSES
BY BETTER SHIPPING PLANS
# To develop better methods for hand
ling and shipping milk from the farms
to the t city market is the object of an
investigation of practices in varions
milk plants, which is being made by
the Dairy Division of the United
States Department • of Agriculture.
Irak losses during shipment hare
a Harked effect upon the price that
tn« consumer must pay for the pro
duct, and upon the price that the far
mer receives for the product. The
loue* are of two kinds; those result
ing from milk souring: in transit, and
those from theft, spoilage and leakage.
Both are believed to be avoidable if the
fermer, country dealer, and the city
dealer Will work together.
Dealers are being asked to give in
formation on various subjects, such as
tile methods used for transporting
mik from the farm to the dealer, the
protection provided for milk while in
fntasit between the dealet and- the
çkjr market, sind the relative effi
ciency of different types of refrigera
te* cars.
GOVERNMENT FILMS TO SHOW
EURQPE AMERICAN FARMING
Better American agricultural meth
od*, as portrayed by motion pictures,
are proving of much interest not only
id the United States but in many for
eign countries, judging from the de
mand for such films made upon the
lotted States Department of Agri
culture. Constant requests for the
films, which picturize a wide range of
agricultural activities, arc being re
ceived from many quarters, and the
r of sales is increasing rapidly
an arrangement by which the
er pays the contract of a com
mercial manufacturer.
Among the buyers is the Interna
Çommittee of Y. M. C. A's.,
oently purchased 200 reels on
•abjects for use in Russia,
ivakia. Roumanie, Greece,
European countries. The
pt and the Buenos

uraf methods as applied to Ar
Sentina. The government of the Ar
entïne rècentty purchased several
copies of "Embryology of the Egg"
fire copie« of "Making the South
Tick Free," a «abject of much interest
in Argentina. The railway, in ad
dition to other previous purchases, re
cently^bought six copies of films for
use Jlong its lines to show better
farming methods. The Korean gov
ernment purchased six copies of films
oa poultry production. These films
and others are being shown in 20 for

and heating methods say the bureau's
specialists.
Protection from cold depends large
ly upon a constant circulation of warm
air around the load. Heated air from
a stove in the center of car rises to
the top, spreads along the ceiling be
tween the potatoes and the roof,
thence down through open space at
the ends then back underneath d
false floor coming out at the stove.
Cars should be carefully lined with
>aper. In box cars, false floors
alse side and end walls should be
constructed of boards and studding
so as to provide for air circulation
around the load. In refrigerator cari,
.false floors should be provided and
are should (be taken that Ibunker
lulkhead openings are not blocked,
either in paperihg or loading.
Cars should be heated at least six
hours before loading, in loading,
sacks should not come closer than fi
inches from the ceiling. The pota
toes at the floor should be loaded not
less than 6 inches from the sides and
ends of car.
Complete details regarding the pre
vention of freezing ini transit and
proper loading methods can be had

arkets, United States Department
of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.

SHOWS SOIL STEAL WATER
PROM IRRIGATION CANALS
That water is stolen from irrigation
canals by the soil in much the same
way that a lump of sugar takes up
water from* a glass when a corner of
the'lump is held in the water—b" the
force known as capillary attraction—
has been shown by a series of experi
ments recently conducted by the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture.
It has long been observed that un
lined reservoirs on irrigation canals
lose more water than can be account
ed for by direct percolation and by
evaporation, and a desire to study the
cause of this additional loss was one
of the reasons for making this inves
tigation.
Accurate information has also been
lacking as to how water applied in
irrigation is. distributed through the
soil. Many perplexities are cleared
up by the tests conducted by the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture,
in which columns of soil con&ined in
especially devised flumes, each wUh
on plate-glass side, were used to ob
serve 'the rate at which moisture
traveled.
It was found that where soil was
in contact with a body of free water
it will take up water with remarkah'e
rapidity until the soH approaches sat
uration. The vertical distance through
which water can be lifted by capillar
ity is very' limited, however, not ex
ceeding 3 or 4 feet in most soils. It
was also found that while water will
move very rapidly from a body of
free water to a dry soil the move
ment from a wet. soil to a dry soil is
very gradual.
In the case of flumes inclined down
ward water drawn into the soil column
by capillarity appeared, after a few
days as free water dripping from the
flume, thus establishing a capillarv
siphon." This indicates that where a
canal is. located alone a side hill
water may be drawn out by capillarity
continuously and may result in the
water-logging of land farther down.
Such a condition might be expected
where there is a t9P soil qf rather
WgB capillary power and an imper
vious subsoil, both sloping downward
from th« canal at ail angle of IS de
grees or more. If nnder these condi
tions there were a sudden change in
the slope of the ground toward the
horozontal, a swampy condition would
be likely to result. Such conditions
should be avoided, so far as possible,
in the location of canals.
EXCHANGE SITUATION LEADS
TO RECORD BUTTER IMPORTS
The record for butter imports es
tablished in 1919, when 9,519,368
pounds of butter and butter substi
tutes were brought into the United
States, was short lived. Following
the recent announcement of these im
port figures by the United States de
partment of agriculture the depart
ment has compiled reports for the
first sevep months of this year which
show that the United States during
that period imported 22,855,090 pounds
of foreign butter, which is more than
ever before.
This remarkable increase is attri
buted by foreign marketing experts
of the department's bureau of mar
kets largely to the foreign exchange

M The Phonograph with a Soul"
This was the test made by Marion Evelyn Cox
Thursday, Sept. 16, at The Huree Theatre.
She sang. Suddenly she ceased to sing, and the
New Edison took up the same song alone.
No one in the audience, was able to tell Miss
Cox's living voice from its lîe-cr^ation by the New
Edison.
The phonograph had achieved that marvel of
marvels—perfect realism!

situation. With American dollars
commanding a premium throughout
the world it is obviously good busi
ness for foreign butter manufacturers
to sell their product in the United
States. Foreign manufactures also
have the advantage of low cargo rates.
Another reason for the increased im
ports is that whereas England was
formerly Denmark's principal butter
outlet, England can now purchase but
ter more cheaply from Australia and
Argentina. Ireland also is producing
butter on a larger scale.
The effect of the exchange situa
tion also reflected in a decrease of
American butter exports. Thus, 15,
529,271 pounds of American butter
were exported during the first seven
months of 1920, whereas 22,986,294
pounds were sent out of the country
during the corresponding period of
1919.
Imports of butter from Denmark
are being curtailed at present because
the prices asked by the holders of
Danish butter in storage here are
higher than the wholesale prices for
the American product, and some dif
ficulty is being experienced in moving
the Danish stocks.
TELLS WILD-DUCK FANCIERS
HOW TO RAISE YOUNG BIRDS
Uncle Sam is the best friend the
wild ducks have, and it follows that
he has a warm spot in his heart for
the wild-fowler, too. In the interests
of both he hasjprepared a leaflet on
the propagation of wild ducks which
may be had from the bureau of bio
logical survey, United States depart
ment of agriculture, by anyone who
asks for it.
Mallards are the easiest to handle,
with wood duck coming next. Black
ducks need more space than either of
these because they are more sensitive
—a bit "wilder." Widgeon and teal
need winter shelter, if grown in the
north, to a greater extent than their
cousins, but the provisions for shelter
need not be elaborate. For most
ducks and most climates a simple,
three-sided shack is sufficient, though
extreme cold weather should find the
ilitcks housed in a tight building with
plenty of litter oil the floor.
Fresh infusions of wild blood must
be introduced from time to time if
the birds are to keep their wild con
formation.
Wild duck eggs are usually hatched
under len<, though they may be
hatched in an incubator. Breeding
stock of whatever species should be
obtained in the fall so as to be settled
in its quarters before the breeding
season, which conies rather early in
spring. The leaflet describes the care
and feeding of the young birds at
every stage in their development from
the yellow fuzz of the duckling to the
gleaming iridescent feathers of the
mature bird. It is a leaflet that should
interest sportsmen as well as the
game farmer.
